Saigon Evac.- chances of agent orange exposure ?

Your question is a little short in detail, but I believe I understand your intention.

The U.S. Military stopped spraying defoliants (at least officially) in 1971 after nine years of spraying over 77 million liters of it. The chance of direct exposure to Agent Orange in Saigon during the last two days of the Vietnam War is slim and none. However, there would have been plenty of opportunities for indirect exposure. Just about every fresh water source from the DMZ to Saigon had direct or indirect exposure to Agent Orange. Even if you weren’t in a known sprayed area, you could have exposed yourself to Agent Orange in Vietnam if you ate any food or drank any water in Vietnam.

You want to know something spooky? Odds are that you exposed yourself to Agent Orange recently if you ate any fruits or vegetables. A close variant of Agent Orange is the most widely used herbicide in the world

Contrary to popular belief, Agent Orange is not the cause of so many health problems from the Vietnam War. A dioxin byproduct created during the manufacture of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War era is the culprit. Although there are many hundreds of thousands who have been in direct contact with the dioxins that have no signs of ill health, there are plenty who do have health problems. There is evidence that dioxin poisoning is still affecting people over 3o years after the Vietnam War ended and the effects could be hereditary.

You might qualify for Agent Orange related benefits if you are a Vietnam Veteran who had boots on the ground at any time in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Check with your local Veterans Hospital or clinic for more information.
